If I toggle it on and off it'll actually stay off for a day or two but it always comes back. I'm on a Galaxy S20 Android 13 I believe.
This exact thing started happening to me too, It's been drinking me crazy.
Hoping someone has a solution.
yo debloat your phone if you can with adb. It requires a PC, platform-tools, and the universal android debloater from github but it's a convenient way to get rid of bloatware from an android phone when it's set up.
Just to add to Alkider's comment, you do not need to download anything off github, technically just by knowing the id of the app is enough. for example if you want to get rid of com.google.chrome you just need to:
adb shell pm uninstall --user 0 com.google.chrome
However im sure a script will make it easier for you and probably has a integrated list of useless apps to uninstall in one go. Phone model and brand does not matter, ADB is standard. if it runs android it should work.
What kind of phone do you have?
An s22 Ultra
I've got an S22 and noticed the same thing yesterday. Wasn't there an update a couple days ago? I remember seeing a few games that came with the update (Solitaire and a Casino game) and uninstalled them the morning after.
There was, and I received 2nd update shortly after my last post that seems to have fixed it!!
It might be related to Samsung pushing apps/updates to your phone. I've seen them do similar on a galaxy tab before as well.
The stupid amount of bloat I couldn't uninstall is the reason I stopped using Samsung phones. Sure they are popular and decently priced, but Samsung is really showing how much they don't care about the user experience since they are on top.
and decently priced
Sorry but there is nothing decent about an overpriced $1000 phone that costs $200 to make in China.
Many brands are decently priced, but Samsung is not one of them.
Yeah, but that's only for flagship phone, and even then, at least in America, carriers will basically throw the phone at you for a reduced price when you walk in the door because Samsung has bargaining power to make sure their phones are advertised. The list price for Samsung is rarely what they are actually being sold for.
Also, I don't know why you're apologizing. I fucking hate Samsung.
